Chapter 236 Sun Li comes to surrender
He will be eating Zhu Hai while holding a wine glass to persuade the marquis to win. ----------"Xia Ke Xing" by Tang Li Bai
It is said that the Sword Immortal Wang Yue was sitting in his thatched cottage, holding the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in his hand. Although his face was as calm as water, he gently pulled out a piece of the sword and killed Shi, the eldest disciple who had just escaped from Chang'an. Ahe's fifth disciple Xia Houen was startled.
Wang Yue's hoarse and magnetic voice sounded: "Shi A, was your seventh junior brother Sun Li really arrested and then released?"
Shi'a's heart was beating fast, knowing that the master never had a sword free, and if he couldn't answer right now, he would be hit with a sword. Although Shi'a also had extraordinary swordsmanship, he naturally did not dare to confront his master mentally.
Shi A thought for a while, then raised his hand and replied: "On the day of the assassination of Chen Long, the apprentice was about to succeed, but was rescued by Huangfu Song. Afterwards, without any warning, Lu Zhi suddenly led his army to surround Dong Cheng's residence, and Junior Brother Sun Li was captured by mistake. . Huangfusong and Lu Zhike are both royalists. I didn’t expect them to be the ones protecting Chen Long.”
Wang Yue still looked like a calm and gentle hero, and said softly: "Where is your sword?"
Shi A's heart was not good and he did not dare to deceive him any more. He replied: "Master, at that time the disciple wanted to hurt the enemy with his flying sword, but he did not want to be shot down by Huangfu Song. Later, Huang Gai led an army to save the savior, and the disciple had no choice but to abandon him. Return with your sword." After saying that, he knelt down and said, "Master, please punish me."
Without saying a word, Wang Yue slowly pulled out his sword. Qixing Longyuan slowly revealed the sharp blade of the sword, making a sizzling sound of friction with the scabbard. The ears of Shi A and Xia Houen seemed to be filled with magic sounds, as if It is the reminder of death.
Wang Yue unsheathed his long sword, and a fierce sword energy immediately filled the air. Accompanied by his slightly feminine voice, he said: "Dong Cheng was sentenced to death, but Sun Li was released. He must have confessed himself." His identity, the imperial court will release him only when he knows that he was sent by me. This means that he does not want to offend me and lets me deal with it myself. Sun Li is greedy for life and afraid of death, and betrayed and betrayed me. According to our rules, what should he do? manage?"
Shi Ayi said excitedly: "You should die with three swords and six holes in your body." Three swords and six holes means that the head, neck, chest, and abdomen are stabbed in sequence, and then slowly bleed to death. pieces of torture.
Before Shi A finished speaking, he suddenly felt the sharp sword energy rise up, and then the coffee table in front of Wang Yue cracked with a roar. Shi A kowtowed and said: "Master, leave this matter to me, and I will kill the seventh junior brother Sun Li's head." Offered in atonement.”
Wang Yue stopped talking and waved his hand. Shi A and Xia Houen hurried out of the hall as if they had been granted amnesty. On the way, he met Wang Yue's only female disciple and the junior sister among the top ten disciples, Zhang Chunhua, a beautiful woman from Hanoi County.
Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi's eldest wife in the official history, was highly skilled in martial arts and knowledgeable. She once served as Sima Yi's escort on his mission to Soochow. She can be described as a brave and resourceful woman among the heroes. At the age of fifteen, Wang Yue and Zhang Chunhua's father Su Yi ordered Zhang Wang to be acquainted with each other, so they accepted him as a closed disciple and loved him very much.
At this moment, Zhang Chunhua's big black and white eyes stared at Shi A and asked: "Senior Brother, Master has not punished me, right?" Shi A smiled bitterly and said: "This time your Senior Brother escaped by chance, but the Seventh Junior Brother has betrayed the master." He is suspected of being suspected, your fifth senior brother and I are about to travel far to look for him."
Zhang Chunhua said with some worry: "How could the Seventh Senior Brother betray our sect? Senior Brother, don't take action easily. It's best to bring him back alive, so as to give the Seventh Senior Brother a chance to explain." Shi A nodded and chatted with Xia Houen. He cupped his hand and hurried away.
Zhang Chunhua continued to move forward, walked into the thatched cottage where Master usually sat, bowed and called Master. When Wang Yue saw that it was Zhang Chunhua, his mood improved slightly. He put away his sword and asked, "Chunhua, what do you have to report?"
Zhang Chunhua stood up and said, "Master, Situ Wang Yun came from Luoyang and has already arrived outside the door."
Wang Yue expected that Wang Yun had spent a lot of money and heard that the assassination failed, so he would definitely come. He sighed softly, sat down and said, "Please."
Wang Yun entered the clean thatched cottage alone, led by Zhang Chunhua. Zhang Chunhua poured Wang Yun a cup of tea, and at the master's signal, he retreated to the outside of the thatched cottage to guard.
Wang Yun didn't wait for Zhang Chunhua to withdraw completely, and said impatiently: "Brother, I heard that something went wrong in Chang'an. What's going on?"
Wang Yue was not in a hurry to answer. He took out the Seven-Star Sword from his sleeve, placed it gently on the table, and said, "Master, this time it is a disgrace to the mission. Please take this sword back."
Wang Yun calmed down, stroked his gray hair, and knelt down behind his tea table. The two were silent for a moment, and Wang Yun said: "It seems that the rumors are true." Wang Yue remained silent, as if he had never promised Wang Yun anything.
Wang Yun continued to say in a deep voice: "Brother, when you were with the emperor, although your martial arts were outstanding, you were only given one General Huben, which was a pity. Until you retired to the top of Mang Mountain, I am not worthy of my brother."
Wang Yue showed no emotion at all, but those days when he was seeking an official position were not easy because he had no money to give to eunuchs and relatives. Even if his martial arts skills were high, promotion would be difficult. Later, the situation changed drastically. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was even less of a thing than the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was firmly held in the palm of Dong Zhuo's hand. He had to reluctantly withdraw from Luoyang and live in seclusion in this remote mountainous area.
Wang Yun continued: "Although the assassination of Chen Long failed this time, I feel that the opportunity is at hand. Now Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is under strict guard, and Dong Cheng is questioned about the death penalty. If he is rescued in this situation and supports the As an emperor, doesn’t he mean that he is a general who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people?”
Wang Yue finally opened his eyes, and Wang Yun seemed to truly understand what he needed most. Sure enough, Wang Yun continued: "I heard that Chen Long is still unconscious. If the clan brother can personally take action, it will be a big deal."
Wang Yue's eyes seemed to light up, he picked up a cup of tea and asked: "Master still wants to kill Chen Long?"
Wang Yun shook his head firmly and said, "No, the people I want to ask my clan brothers to kill are Queen Mother He and Liu Bian."
Wang Yue's hand holding the tea trembled violently, and the tea overflowed slightly and flowed down the wall of the cup. Wang Yun noticed Wang Yue's change and said: "Brother, listen to me, the truth is obvious. It is very strange that Chen Long was rescued by Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi this time. It just shows that some ministers who are loyal to Liu Bian are still against Liu Bian." Chen Long has hope. But Ji Ping's incident shows that Liu Bian is not interested in Chen Long, at least he is dissatisfied with the relationship between Queen Mother He and Chen Long."
"So, we might as well take a step back now. Now Liu Bian has no heir, and the Empress Dowager He is in court. If anything happens to their mother and son, our emperor will become the only descendant of the Han Dynasty. Chen Long keeps saying that he will retain the royal family, but he dare not destroy the only seed. , then great things will be accomplished. As time passes and the emperor grows older, relying on the strength of important ministers like us, we will be able to regain the imperial power soon."
Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he drank the tea in his hand. Wang Yun pushed the Seven-Star Sword in front of Wang Yue again and said slowly: "Brother, if this battle is successful, I will recommend my brother as a general in front of the emperor. When the time comes, one person will be inferior and ten thousand people will win." There are many people who have lived in Mangshan and gone into seclusion."
Wang Yue stroked his black beard with his hand and thought silently. He spent half his life using a sword, learned Taoism in the wild, and became a master of martial arts. Thinking that he would dominate the world from now on, he enthusiastically curry favor with the royal family, hoping to obtain a high-ranking official position so as to honor his family. Although he belonged to a distant branch of the Wang family, he was born in a poor family and had no money to support the eunuchs and relatives. As a result, he was overqualified for his talents and was not favored by the royal family.
Now the opportunity is in front of you. Once you succeed, it will be the ultimate glory. Either the second General He Jin or the second Grand Master Dong. As long as he gets the support of some local warlords, it is not a fantasy to revive the glory of the Han Dynasty in his own hands. When the time comes, his name will go down in history, and his branch will become the patriarch of the Wang family and enjoy eternal benefits.
Thinking of the beauty, Wang Yue stretched out his hand and took the seven-star sword again. Wang Yun was overjoyed, knowing that the sword fairy had agreed. Wang Yun continued: "Dong Cheng has been captured. I still have a confidant in Chang'an who can arrange accommodation and cover for the immortal master."
He said a person's name and address.
Seeing Wang Yue nodding slightly, Wang Yun bowed again and said: "Dong Chengqiu was beheaded after the assassination. It has only been more than two months ago. If the immortal master can make a contribution as soon as possible, Dong Cheng can still live." Wang Yue understood that if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to power, he would issue an edict. He pardoned Dong Cheng and immediately nodded in agreement. Wang Yun said again: "As for Chen Long, if Master Immortal has the chance, how about he please get rid of him too?"
It is not revealed that Wang Yun and Wang Yue conspired to bring Emperor Xian of Han to power. It is also stated that Chen Long recovered gradually after being treated by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, and the stitches were removed seven days later. For the past few days, Chen Long had been thinking about contact with Ma Teng, while waiting for the arrival of Zhang He's troops. Zhou Buyi and Guo Jiahui would arrive at the same time, and he would be able to determine the next military strategy.
The news of Chen Long's awakening has gradually spread under the instructions, and many court officials have also visited. Empress Dowager He did not come in person due to her status. On this day, she sent a special envoy to bring her greetings. However, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty could not afford to fall ill and went to the hospital just opened by Hua Tuo for treatment.
Empress Dowager He's special envoy had just left, and Lu Chang came to report that an unnamed person asked to see the lord and presented him with a long sword. Chen Long's heart moved, he took the scabbard, pulled it out, looked at it, and said hurriedly: "Please come to the study."
This long sword is of the same type as the long sword Shi'a used to assassinate him. Chen Long vaguely guessed the visitor's intention and hurriedly invited the visitor to the study.
The visitor entered the study and stood still at a distance. Lu Chang looked at Chen Long suspiciously. Chen Long said it didn't matter, and Lu Chang immediately retreated to the door. Chen Long played with the long sword and shouted: "What's your name?"
The man was wearing coarse clothes and had an unkempt appearance. He was tall and strong, but he still had a fierce air. On his beard-covered face were a pair of eyes full of ferocity, and his eyebrows were furrowed as he said, "Master Hou, my surname is Sun Mingli, and my courtesy name is Deda."
Chen Long pulled out his long sword, made a sword flower, and said: "I recognize this sword. Your martial arts is quite good, and Chen admires it. If you are an assassin who wants to kill me, why would you hand over the sword to me?" "
Sun Li hesitated when he was asked, and said: "Master Hou, why do you ask questions knowingly? If I had a place to go, I wouldn't come to seek refuge with Master Hou."
Chen Long looked into Sun Li's eyes and said, "Tell me, what kind of person is your master?"
Speaking of Wang Yue, Sun Li finally showed a fearful look, and suddenly knelt down and said: "I betrayed the master, and there was only one way to die. I think since you are the master's enemy, you are not afraid of Wang Yue. It's the noble Hou Ye again, my subordinates The army is strong, and I can only survive if I take refuge with you." He kowtowed and lay down in the hall.
Chen Long couldn't help but smile and said: "You are straightforward and can be considered a straight-tempered person. But do you know what I think? You are afraid of death and are willing to betray your master. How can I trust you?"
Sun Li straightened his upper body, cupped his hands and said, "I'm not good at talking, and I don't bother to lie. Although I was afraid of death, I came to surrender after many days because I was inquiring about your personality. Now, I have decided to come to surrender. Because you are worthy of my service, and you are also my best wing. In terms of swordsmanship, I am confident that I am not inferior to Na Shi'a, so please accept me, my lord!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
